1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology is limited by slow granulation and structural instability. To overcome the shortcomings of existing carrier materials (e.g., activated carbon, sponge) regarding poor biocompatibility, inadequate pore connectivity, and surface chemical inertness, this study proposes a rapid AGS construction strategy based on a novel L-carrier (a renewable polymer material modified by alkali‑ultrasonic treatment to obtain hydrophilic, hierarchical porous, and high surface charge properties). Using sequencing batch reactors, the effects of the L-carrier on granulation progress, structural stability, and pollutant removal performance were systematically evaluated. Results showed that the L-carrier shortened the maturation time of the pre-formed composite granules to 5 days (defined as the time required to achieve stable granule morphology, settling velocity > 70 m h
